BARNS OUTFITTERS

BARNS OUTFITTERS is a Tokyo-based Japanese ameka-ji label founded in 1985 that reinterprets mid-century American casualwear through domestic craft manufacturing. Its core TSURIAMI line is knitted on century-old loopwheel machines still running in Wakayama, where fabric hangs under its own weight and is produced at roughly one meter per hour for a soft, resilient hand. The range centers on tubular pocket tees, crewneck and hooded sweatshirts, polos and trousers, with details such as binder necks and flatseamer stitching. Distribution runs through its own site plus specialists including HINOYA and CULTIZM.
